About

Project Success is an alcohol and other-drug prevention/early intervention program implemented in Westchester County high schools and junior high/middle schools, through funding from the New York State Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Services and the participating schools. During the 2017-2018 school year, approximately 5,300 middle and high school students were seen in the program. The goals of the program are to prevent students from using alcohol and other drugs, to increase school and community awareness about the dangers of adolescent alcohol and drug use, to eliminate alcohol and other drug use among those who are using by educating them about the negative consequences of their use, and to empower non-using adolescents to strengthen the factors that protect against the risks of substance use. In 2017-2018, 98% of participating students increased or maintained their perception of the risk of harmfulness of alcohol and other drugs. The program is recognized as one of the few prevention/early intervention programs that has been able to document a positive impact on reducing alcohol and drug use among at-risk students in high schools. 96% of participating students in 2017-2018 reduced the frequency of alcohol or marijuana use (or remained abstinent) during the last 30 days after program participation. Project Success is being replicated in nineteen states, and fourteen other counties in New York State. The Westchester Student Assistance Program (SAP) was adapted for residential facilities (RSAP) and in 1999 was designated by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP) as an exemplary program. The SAP was modified to incorporate additional prevention program components and named Project Success and received the same designation in 2000. Both RSAP and Project Success are highly rated programs on SAMHSA's National Registry of Evidence Based Programs and Practices.
